My application for the Ph.D. program at NYU is being considered
incomplete because I cannot have my GRE scores sent.  I took the GRE in
2000, and GRE does not hold scores older that October 2003.  Is this
some sort of tool for abetting the process of elimination by keeping out
those who didn't go to school continuously?

Does anyone have any suggestions for obtaining these scores without
having to take it again?  After two moves I have no idea where my copy
of my scores is, or even if a cop of that would be considered valid
documentation.

It seems to me that NYU is the only school that requires this of Ph.D.
students.  It seems to me that GRE should be obligated to retain scores
longer if schools use it as an admission requirement for PH.D. students
as well as Master's students.

"The progress of a love-story is tedious to all those who are not
concerned, and I leave such themes to the hack novel-writers, and the
young boarding-school misses for whom they write."--William Makepeace
